Warm bright day, water clear enough to sight-fish in places - and some big fish were visible. Surprisingly several came up for the Jingler in the sparse 12-2pm hatch, but I missed or lost all but two, of 14 and 15 inches, strong as ever.

Very difficult. Bright sun, clear water, few rises. But stunning with lots of wildlife.

Sunny day, light east wind, river low-ish and clear. There was a fair on-and-off hatch of mid olives (rather than March browns?) between 12 and 2pm, which produced quite a few rises. Caught 3 fish on the (dry) Jingler (14), the largest of which, 18 inches/2.5 lbs, was in a stream right under the far bank and very strong, jumping no less than six times. A bit of success with klink-and-dink (on a 14 PTN) after the hatch.

Another lovely Spring day, some cloud in the morning which cleared, so warm and sunny throughout. No sign of surface activity until about 12.30 when there was quite a prolific March Brown hatch.. Lasted about 20 mins at it's peak, but carried on intermittently for about an hour. I benefitted from the 'awakening' with one fine brown trout, 17", caught at about 1pm, on a yellow wulff mayfly pattern.

Hatch lasted barely 20 mins - an hour yesterday - fewer fish showed. Spent a good few hours with wets, hooked one briefly. Beautiful weather, pretty easy wading and a truly lovely bit of river made it a memorable trip all the same. I’ll be back later in the season to try again
